Why not? If all the companies get additional working capital because the rapacious government takes less than it used to, they now have room to lower prices, and will in order to gain competitive advantage.
Do tell.
The same happens with companies that DON'T get tax incentives.
Republicans think bribes are "worth it".
The only way a company can offer the same goods at a higher price is to also offer a superior customer experience. That's why Target, for example, can sell the same goods as Walmart at a higher price. If their customer experience deteriorates, however, they would have to lower their prices to compete with Walmart. When goods reach rock bottom commodity prices, they tend to match. That's why you see gas stations all selling gas for basically the same price, though some will be a little higher if they are positioned immediately beside an interstate, and some may be a little lower if they can subsidize gas sales with convenience store items.
Even a temporary drop in prices can spur sales. Ever hear of a blue light special?
Unfortunately, you're arguing with someone who literally can NOT imagine ANYTHING negative coming from a democrat or anything positive from a Republican. Apparently, democrats are fearful little creatures that cannot do anything because a Republican might look at them sideways, yet he keeps voting for them.
Show us the numbers. Show us how much INCOME, not wealth, the wealthy take in every year, then set a percentage that you want to confiscate from them and compare that to all the spending that you want to do. Show us the numbers.
I don't know why these people think the wealthy will just stand there and let the government take ever increasing amounts of money from them without taking steps to avoid it. They're not rich by accident, after all.
Good times.........are over.
50% top rate worked great for Reagan. then he made the top rate 28% going out the door and ruined the country for 35 years so far....
Just another example of how the (D)ishonest prey upon the emotions of the ignorant.
Maybe they didn't raise them.
Yup, they tried to compete head-to-head with Walmart on price alone and lost. Target's still around because they don't try to compete only on price. Now, of course, Walmart is so big it's nearly impossible to knock them off on price alone. They rule the bottom line.
Do you honestly think anyone paid 50% on much of their income? Reagan got rid of a lot of deductions and shelters when he dropped the marginal rate. And, come to think of it, why aren't we paying 50% today? The democrats asleep on the job?
And the sales tax she pays on those things is deductible
Again so what?
Well, they did.
